–Aninsar
We flew through the night, and by the time, daybreak, we were in the Duke of Ramslett's territory.
Already below us were the fields of autumn, where wheat has not been planted yet.
If the scale of the map is correct, we should be able to reach Wishen, the territorial capital where the Duke is supposed to be, in about an hour.
It was thanks to the Buitor Rev. that we were able to cross the mountain and the forest, again a mountain and a forest, and then jumped over untouched undeveloped lands.
Even though we had already passed through the Valley of the Flying Dragons, both Jerome and Melissa-chan were accompanying us.
I've got some really good friends. I can't thank these guys enough.
And the important thing is that Anna is sleeping peacefully after we took off on the Buitor Rev.
Her beautiful sleeping face, which I love so much, hasn't changed at all.
"It took me so long to come to your aid. …… I'm sorry ……"
I gently stroked Anna's hair and dropped a kiss on her forehead.
????
As I looked ahead, I saw a large town. I checked it against the map, and there was no doubt that it was the capital.
We reached the sky above the territorial capital in no time, but we found many people gathered to the south of it.
I checked with my binoculars and saw that the flag of the Duke of Ramslett was flying on the side near the capital, and the flag of the Kingdom of Xaus was flying on the other side.
As the guys from the Est Empire said, the Kingdom of Xaus seems to have invaded the Duke of Ramslett's territory.
The fact that they are being pressed by the territorial capital must mean that they are in a predicament.
Besides, there are quite a lot of men on the side of the Xaus Kingdom.
No, wait, isn't that a little too much?
There are probably 10,000 or so people here at most. But the other side seems to have ten times that many.
I don't know how they manage to pull out without being overtaken.
"Hey, what's going on here? Why are humans fighting like this?"
"Because they're fools, But the one who is defending is Anna's father. So I'm going to kick off the other side."
When Melissa heard what I said, she had a look of 'Good grief' on her face.
"Eh, eh? Th-then we too….."
"Don't do that. Besides, Allen-san, will you be okay alone?"
I'm grateful, as expected of Melissa-chan.
"Anna, I'm sorry. Please be patient a little more."
I nodded to Melissa-chan, and then gently stroked Anna's cheek as she continued to sleep.
Maybe it was just my imagination, but I felt that Anna smiled gently.
????
I increased the wind output of the magic engine and speeded up to move above the Xaus Kingdom army, then dropped bombs one after another.
If I bomb across the enemy lines, there is no danger of misfiring on the allies. I can do whatever I want, just like I did in Bruseni.
The bombs that fell exploded, and just like the Est soldiers in Bruseni, the Xaus soldiers were caught in the explosions one after another and lost their fighting ability.
But unlike the time with Bruseni, my heart was not disturbed in the least.
"Well, I guess that's true. After all, I have done so many things like this over and over."
I muttered to myself and continued bombing to annihilate the Xaus soldiers.
Then, a little further on, I spotted a camp with the flag of the Kingdom of Xaus and two other flags that I didn't know.
Perhaps this is the position where the commander of the enemy forces is located.
Naturally, I'm going to drop a lot of bombs on that position as well.
The bombardment was still going on as I moved, so the ground looked exactly like a copy of the destruction I caused.
As expected, the Royal Army of Saus also apparently realized that there was something above them and that it was dropping something.
The soldiers were desperately shooting arrows at me, but of course, they couldn't reach me.
So I ran up and down the battlefield and bombed the hell out of them for about 30 minutes.
Then, the troops that were crossing swords with the Duke of Ramslett's army gradually began to show signs of breakdown.
This was my observation from the air, but it seemed that the Duke of Ramslett's army was superior in terms of the fighting ability of each and every soldier.
In contrast, the army of the Xaus Kingdom has adopted a strategy of crushing the difference in individual strength with the advantage of overwhelming numbers.
However, the Duke of Ramslett's army probably would've pulled out well without fighting to destroy the siege.
Therefore, the army of the Xaus Kingdom seems to have come up with a strategy of relying on their numbers and pushing head-on.
Before the front line troops are destroyed, they are forced to fall back and push out other troops from the rear. By doing this, they seemed to be gradually lowering the morale of the Duke of Ramslett's army and reducing their numbers by putting them in a situation where no matter how many they defeated, more enemies would appear.
Under such circumstances, I thoroughly bombed and destroyed the rear troops and the commander's camp.
Losing the advantage of numbers and the orders of their commanders, the Xaus Kingdom's army collapsed within ten minutes and began to run away in the blink of an eye.
As I watched this, I spotted the Duke riding his horse in the center of his army.
I slowly start descending to speak with the Duke.
"I'll cover for you."
"Thank you, Melissa-chan"
When I said that, Melissa-chan and Jerome huddled around the Buitor Rev. as if to protect it, and together we lowered our altitude.
Of course, the Duke of Ramslett's army must have noticed that there was something up there.
But it's a different story if there are 2 dragons involved. Moreover, they are both Sky Dragons, who are the king of the sky.
The knights around the Duke are tightening their perimeter to protect him, and are ready with their bows & arrows and shields to intercept us.
However, whether the Duke is stopping them or because he knows that if he makes a move, they will die, they are not attacking.
"Fufu. That's pretty wise, as expected of the father of Allen-san's partner."
Melissa-chan said this with satisfaction and landed on the ground first. Then Jerome landed next to her, and finally, my Buitor Rev. landed between them.
